This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Stop Car Insurance companies charging for minor updates to policies
These fees are not fair and there are a few insurance companies that have scraped this practise and all should follow suit. Numerous other public and private sector companies allow changes without you being penalised with an ‘administration fee’ applying.
More details
Whether you rent or buy a property, when you update your details with a car insurance company most will charge an 'administration fee' why? After all you can ring your bank, pension provider, doctor, dentist and numerous other public and private sector companies and make minor changes without being penalised with an ‘administration fee’ applying. Some even allow you to update your details online.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This petition seems to be calling on insurance companies, not the Government or Parliament, to take action. Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
